I've got a cut on the skin of my penis, I believe it's called the foreskin. It's bleeding when I have sex, but otherwise, everything seems fine. What should I do about it?

You can clean the area gently with warm water and mild soap, and apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol for any discomfort. If the bleeding continues or if you notice signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or pus, please see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Varicocele may be treated with scrotal support and supplements like antioxidants; surgery is curative and safe in most cases with low risk.

I've been having this burning sensation when I pee, mostly in the mornings. It's way worse if I've had alcohol the night before. I've had my urine checked a couple of times, and there was a small infection. But if it's an infection, why isn't it going away? Its been nearly a year now. What could be going on with me?
